Manage My Fat Monday!

2009-07-13T11:13:00.010-05:00

Hello there guys and gals. No new weight loss to report today. I'm going to blame it on bloating and water retention thanks to a visit from Aunt Flo. Well that and I haven't been exercising or eating right this past week. But do not despair because we still have some exciting stuff to talk about today.This past Saturday I auditioned for The Biggest Loser. They had an open casting call right here

Now it's Herman, and Sherman, and me..

When I was in elementary school I remember over-hearing a song on the playground that went something like this....Herman, what have you done to me?Herman, I think it's pregnancy.Herman, you stuck your d**k in me.Now it's Herman, and Sherman and Meeee.I can hear the parents now 'OMG what kind of elementary school did you go to!?!' A good one actually, but it was grades 1-6 and all ages had recess

I guess since I'm not doing Part Two of Operation Muffin Topple I need to come up with a new name for my weekly installment of all things diet, exercise and scale throwing related.Ask and ye shall receive... This just popped in my head:"Manage My Fat Monday"What do you think? Catchy? Eh, it will do for now, until I can come up with something better.Update - On my last Muffin Top(ple) post - June

I went to MS last weekend to do the cook-out, hang at the pool thing with my family for the 4th. As usual, when I visit I spend most of my time playing with my niece Marley.I know most people say they have the most beautiful children, neices, nephews etc, but that child is really truly gorgeous. I've mentioned to my sister before that maybe they should think about putting her in modeling, or even

Operation Muffin Top(ple) has come to an end.. and while I didn't win the prize, I still feel like I've come out of this a winner. I've learned so much about my health, my body, food, exercise and what it takes for me to get where I need to be weight/health wise. Most importantly, I've learned that I CAN do it.And I can do it without killing myself at the gym or starving half to death.I won't

I've been trying to catch up on my blog reading today. I'm horribly terribly behind, but there are just entirely too damn many good blogs out there.Anyway 15 Minute Lunch has always been one of my favorites. He has a post about a 1977 JC Penny's catalog that had me crying and trying not to pee myself from laughing so hard.Needless to say he's done it again - had me laughing until I couldn't

Last week I lost an online friend because she, a smoker, didn't like what I had to say about smoking.She tweeted "All I want to do is smoke lately. I could stand outside and chain smoke right now, I swear. No lectures please."I replied - "we only lecture you because we love you - and because smoking is farking disgusting! =)"She went on to tell me that my statement counted as a lecture and I

Well it's been one week since starting my self issued 30 day challenge.To recap - Matthew and I challenged ourselves to 30 days of No soda, no fast food and no sweets. We also set up a schedule that has us working out 6 days a week.I am happy to report that I since last Monday I have lost 5.6 pounds. I've also lost an inch off my waist and half an inch off of my hips.I won't lie and say it's easy

Happy Monday friends.I'd love to say I've dropped dozens of pounds since beginning Operation Muffin Top(ple) but that would be a lie and I'm going to take a cue from Honest Abe and tell the truth.Matthew and I saw Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Friday night - hence the Honest Abe reference.Anyhoo. When I started this about 6 weeks ago I weighed x number of pounds. I normally

A couple of weeks ago Matthew and I watched the Will Smith movie Seven Pounds. If you haven't seen it I STRONGLY recommend you do. Fantastic movie. But be forewarned. You will cry.In the movie there is a lady who is caught in a domestic abuse situation and won't leave because she is afraid her husband will hunt her down and kill her.Last week I had the pleasure of being woken up at 12am by a

I tell her to call me back when she knows if they're going to keep her and I'll be on my way. It's right at an hour drive from Mobile, AL to Gulfport, MS so I figured I'd have time to make it before

Today we're going to talk about woman's number one enemy.No... not Men. They may be a pain at times, but they have their uses.I'm talking about the scale. That 12x12 piece of plastic or metal, that with the twirl of a dial or the flash of a digit, can make or break your day.Last week I sent an e-mail out to my Muffin Top(ple) ladies with a picture of me from 2004 and I asked them all to guess

Which sucked.But lucky for you she took a lot of pictures and has decided to share!I am 33yrs old and up until April 23rd of this year, I had never been on a 'real' vacation. Growing up we did family reunion get togethers at state parks, but anyone who was once a kid knows that is more like torture

I know I have a ton of blogging that needs to be done what with my recent vacation and the birth of my new niece but I find myself in a funk lately so I'm going to do a meme instead.You can blame thank Lisa at None of Your Beeswax for this since I copied it off of her Facebook.1.

I've been back from Mexico for one week and I figure it was time to get off my fat tush and get back to blogging. OK technically I'll be sitting ON my fat tush to blog but... anyway.First I want to give a HUGE thanks to the lovely ladies who filled in for me while I was gone. They did a flabtastic job and I hope you add them to your list of blogs to stalk visit on a regular basis.Just a TitchSex,

Yes, Mollie is back from vacation. She’d asked me to guest blog, along with some other wonderful ladies, while she was away but I got my days all messed up and well…My name is Simone Grant and I blog daily over at Sex, Lies and Dating in the City. I didn’t have to think long about what I wanted to blog about for Mollie, because I really liked her post Beautiful You. It got me to thinking just

Hello there! My name is Amy, and I'm yet another guest blogger while Mollie is away, sunning herself on the beach and hopefully not contracting swine flu! Yikes! You can usually find me over at Just A Titch but I told Mollie I'd help her out while she is away. Like our previous lovely guest blogger, I met Mollie through our Operation Muffin Top(ple) group, a lovely group of girls trying to get

Hi there, I'm LizSara and I blog over at If Music Be. Mollie told me to tell you that I'm guest blogging for her while she is (and I quote) "sunning my ass on the sand like a beached whale and can't roll my way to a computer to blog lol"So here I am.I met Mollie (in the same way as Lisa) through Operation Muffin Top(ple). When she asked for guest posters I jumped at the chance because OMT has

It's week 3 of Operation Muffin Top(ple) and I'd love to say I've had huge success but that would sadly be a big fat lie, which would match my big fat ass.I have done relatively good though. I've been eating more healthy and exercising more, but still have no real weight loss to speak of. I'm sure it didn't help that I ran out of my thyroid medicine and didn't get it filled until over a week

Today we're going to talk about sex.My favorite part of being in a relationship.Ok, my most favorite part is spending time with my wonderful boyfriend, but sex is a very close second. I love you honey! ^_^I whined in my last post that Jillian Michaels is kicking my ass doing her 30 Day Shred workout. That woman is a machine when it comes to working out. The girl is unstoppable.Well I'm kind of
